I'm 17 and i might be pregnant?

Question

I don't know what to do im scared please sombody help me! what are some of the signs that can help me figure out if i am Pregnant!

Answer 1

i was on birth control pills and i had my period for the first 5 months of my pregnancy and every urine test i took came out negative it wasnt until i took a blood test that i found out i was pregnant..so here is a list of the top 10 earliest signs of pregnancy!!

10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner.

Answer 2

ok, first off it's too soon to tell. give it at least two weeks and then take a test. it sounds like the side affects of suddenly bein off the pill. did u have unprotected sex? and if u used the pull out method, be aware that there is pre *** that the guy cant control. that's how i got pregnant at age 18. that method doesnt work. stressing about it might make ur period even more late tho so just relax. if ur pregnant, its ok everything will b fine. i did it with no help and i am only a year and a half older than u. but it sounds to me that ur not pregnant so dont worry just take a test in a couple weeks, let me kno wut happens hun. good luck

Answer 3

Hiya, is your period late for starters? If you are stressing about been pregnant your period might be delayed because you are stressed. The only way you can tell is to do a test. Don't be scared, I had my first at 18 and Im fine, Im 24 now and nearly qualfied as a teaching assistant and hoping to start a degree next year. Just take a test then your mind will be at rest. Your doctor or nurse can do a free test if you are in the uk and remember it is confidential. Any other probs, contact me and I will help as much as I can x

Planned Parenthood 1-800-230-PLAN

Pregnancy tests are not accurate until 1-2 weeks after ovulation.

Emergency contraception are licensed for use up to 72 hours after sexual intercourse The effectiveness of emergency contraception is highest when taken within 12 hours of intercourse and declines over time.

Plan B® is now available without a prescription for consumers age 18 or older, but a prescription is needed for women 17 and younger.

If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or Washington, you can get Plan B® without a prescription at some pharmacies; however, you should call your pharmacy in advance to make sure they offer and stock Plan B

Random acts of intercourse achieve a 24% pregnancy rate per cycle.
Having sex on certain days of the cycle has pregnancy rates to 31%-68%
Note that 25% of pregnancies are lost within the first six weeks since the woman's last menstrual period

For all fertility awareness methods, actual effectiveness can be significantly lower than method effectiveness - some studies have found actual failure rates of 25% per year or higher.

Post-ovulation methods (i.e. abstaining from intercourse from menstruation until after ovulation) have a method failure rate of 1% per year.

The symptothermo method has a method failure rate of 2% per year.

The cervical mucus-only methods have a method failure rate of 3% per year.

Calendar rhythm has a method failure rate of 9% per year.

The Standard Days Method has a method failure rate of 5% per year.

Answer 5

The symptoms of pregnancy include:
-Missed or late period
-Morning sickness (nausea)
-headaches/backaches
-fatigue
-food cravings

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, especially the missed or late period, you should get a pregnancy test. They are available in any drugstore or you can have a gynocologist test you.

If you're pregnant, and since you're 17, I hope that you weigh your options carefully and consider what is best for your baby. Please tell your family; they can help you with anything you need.

Answer 6

When was your last period? If you are late-how late? Are your breasts tender? Are you very very tired? Do you feel faint? Some of these are signs. Go to Crisis Pregnancy Center in your area or Planned Parenthood. If you are not afraid to talk to your parents, I suggest you ask them for support. GOing through this alone will not make it easier. Good Luck

Answer 7

signs you might be pregnant

1.you had unprotected sex
2.its been too long since you had your last period.
3. you get nausea and feel like fainting lately...

4.the pregnancy test you bought from your local vendor says you are pregnant.

5. your d,r says your are pregnant.


you might not experiences any of the above and still be pregnant.

Answer 8

Sorry that you are scared. The first sign is your missed period. If you don't have regular periods, then wait a week before taking the home pregnancy test. Please go to your parents, a close mentor, a teacher, adult friend, or other family member right away for counseling.

Answer 9

Take a test, you can even get them at a dollar store (behind the register- you have to ask for them)
You really dont have to wait for first pee of the day- I took mine at 3pm. And most anyone will tell you if you are the results show a positive right away. good luck
Please learn & practice safe sex. Seriously.

Answer 10

You could'nt possibly be pregnant. I had a vasectomy. Unless you're fooling around on me.

Only sure way is to spend the eight bucks on a pregnancy test which you can get at a dollar store.
